Mark Stoops cannot turn this program around and he knows it. Players are not going to come to a broken culture and play losing football that doesnt develop their potential for the pros when they can make comparable amounts and play for a cogent coaching staff elsewhere.
He is a walking dead man and he knows it. I can't blame him for not retiring and signaling he won't step down and take a negotiated buyout. This all lays on Mitch Barnhardt. This is a 44 million dollar mistake on his part and he deserves to be fired over the nonsensical contract buyout he gave mark stoops. By some miracle Arkansas saved his ass with cal. No one will offer a big contract to Stoops, no way.
UK is going to be forced to bite the bullet on this because Stoops has CHECKED OUT and GOING THROUGH THE MOTIONS.
See how bad it gets next year and empty stadium with damage to the brand. UK will at some point have no choice but to pay the buyout which will still be insane. Best step is to figure it out now or tell Stoops to kick rocks and lawyer up.
